Fresh Pesto Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta and Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant plate of tender roasted chicken paired with al dente whole wheat pasta gently tossed in a fresh basil pesto. Crisp roasted asparagus adds a delightful crunch, making this meal as visually appealing as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
6 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender yet crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
If not pre-cooked, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and sear in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked (approximately 5-6 minutes per side) or warm the pre-cooked chicken.
Slice the chicken into strips.
Toss the hot pasta with the fresh basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta, then layer with sliced chicken and finish with the roasted asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
